The "Licensed Perfusionist Practice Act" aims to regulate the practice of perfusion in South Carolina by establishing licensure standards and creating the Perfusionists Advisory Committee under the State Board of Medical Examiners. The bill outlines the definitions related to perfusion, including the roles and responsibilities of licensed perfusionists, and sets forth the requirements for licensure, including the completion of an approved education program and passing a competency examination. It also specifies penalties for unauthorized practice and establishes guidelines for the committee's operations, including member qualifications, terms, and duties.

Key provisions include the creation of a registry for licensed perfusionists, the establishment of continuing education requirements, and the authority for the committee to recommend regulations for licensure and professional conduct. The bill also allows for provisional licenses for individuals who have completed an approved education program and are under supervision. Additionally, it provides a pathway for individuals with relevant experience to obtain a license before the formal requirements take effect. The act will become effective upon the Governor's approval.
